He's so smart, never caught unprepared.

I thought that to lighten things up I would share this lovely tidbit sent to me earlier. I did a bit of checking and noted that immediate links don't go to this fact…but if you check further, the winner of the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant seems to have been…

a SISTER!

Probably the most depressing thing about Palin is not her selection but the defense of it. It has produced a parade of GOP spokesmen intent on spiking the needle on a polygraph. Looking right into the camera, they offer statement after statement that they hope the voters will swallow but that history will forget. The sum effect on the diligent news consumer is a feeling of consummate contempt for the intelligence of the American people — a contempt that will be justified should Palin be the factor that makes McCain a winner in November.

McCain REALLY did this poor woman a disservice.

In Alaska, several state leaders and local officials said they knew of no efforts by the McCain campaign to find out more information about Ms. Palin before the announcement of her selection, Although campaigns are typically discreet when they make inquiries into potential running mates, officials in Alaska said Monday they thought it was peculiar that no one in the state had the slightest hint that Ms. Palin might be under consideration.

“They didn’t speak to anyone in the Legislature, they didn’t speak to anyone in the business community,” said Lyda Green, the State Senate president, who lives in Wasilla, where Ms. Palin served as mayor.

Representative Gail Phillips, a Republican and former speaker of the State House, said the widespread surprise in Alaska when Ms. Palin was named to the ticket made her wonder how intensively the McCain campaign had vetted her.

“I started calling around and asking, and I have not been able to find one person that was called,” Ms. Phillips said. “I called 30 to 40 people, political leaders, business leaders, community leaders. Not one of them had heard. Alaska is a very small community, we know people all over, but I haven’t found anybody who was asked anything.”

“Hurricane Sarah” Whips Up Mixed Reactions at GOP Convention

“And The Beat Goes On” [Sonny & Cher] :>) :>)

Her introduction included the appropriate MENU SECTIONS – Maybe MOOSE STEW [Palin's favorite], QUAILS [shot by VP Dick Chaney], she choose SALMON. :>) :>)

Following that, she presented her VIDEO DIARY with responses to the question: their first reaction to the Palin announcement.

My fav: He wanted LIEberman. So since he couldn't have him, I think he said SCREW YOU to the Party – “I'll choose someone that you don't want!” :>) :>) :>)

It happened to Obama – that's how he was born.

I totally agree with you about the Messiah meme.

Palin: The Iron-Fist Mayor

If a small-town mayor ever ruled with an iron fist –it was Palin. Eleven days after taking office in 1996 she mailed letters to each of the city's top managers requiring that they resign as a test of loyalty.

Huh???
